Review from previous edition The Fourth Edition of the Oxford Handbook of Emergerncy Medicine is proof that good things come in small packages. This compact little powerhouse more than lives up to expectations established by earlier editions. It offers sound clinical guidance in an easily accessible format and would be a handy addition to the pockets of emergency medicine clinicians. * Journal of the American Medical Association *

The text is straight to the point, concise, informative and educational which also helps to improve patient care. Yet it is surprisingly comprehensive for this size of book and a lot of common and less common situations are covered in significant depth. This is achieved in part, because every word counts and the text is straight to the point. Exactly what many people want. * Dr Harry Brown, Glycosmedia * Review from previous edition The Fourth Edition of the Oxford Handbook of Emergerncy Medicine is proof that good things come in small packages.
